Beep, beep! MUSC Health- Pee Dee, in partnership with Pee Dee Regional Transportation Authority, announced the first-ever bus route to service Black River Medical Center last week. The bus route will run five days a week, offering fare-free rides to everyone. 🎉 With an expansion of surgical services starting in late February, it is more important than ever for patients to have affordable and reliable transportation. According to the Pee Dee Community Health Needs survey results, transportation access is the #1 concern physicians have for their patients. “Today is a great day in the battle to reduce social determinants of health that adversely affect health in our area. The additional route added by PDRTA to Black River Medical Center will remove the transportation barrier many patients in Lake City face when seeking high-quality health care,” said MUSC Health Primary Care – Lake City physician, Dr. Benjamin Lamb. “I am so thankful that we have a plan to address another social determinant of health that directly affects health outcomes in the Lower Florence county area and beyond.” #ChangingWhatsPossible

MUSC Health is #ChangingWhatsPossible in brain stimulation therapy! Just ask this patient: Diagnosed with depression in his early 20s, H.H. Shelton says at one point, he was taking more than 20 medications as he searched for a treatment that would cut through the dark fog that hung over him daily. “I am what they call a treatment-resistant depression patient,” he explains. After 20 years of battling his disorder with little success, a life-changing event prompted him to take another path, and he sought out MUSC Health Department of Psychiatry's Brain Stimulation Services, where he met Dr. Andrew Manett and immediately knew he was in the right hands.

One year ago, MUSC Children's Healthpatient Brock Borton, of Hanahan, was fighting for his life in the hospital. Nobody, not even his doctors, knew if he was going to survive, let alone be able to step foot onto a baseball field again. After a weeks-long coma and 11 neurological procedures, Brock is more than a survivor. He is back at bat. Here's how his MUSC team, including Chief of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Dr. Ramin Eskandari, helped Brock recover: https://lnkd.in/eyXJ6PfH

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has chosen MUSC as one of four sites for the Black and African American Connections to Parkinson’s Disease (BLAAC PD) research study, a part of the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program. MUSC Health Neurologist Vanessa Hinson, M.D., Ph.D., who's the director of the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation Center of Excellence at MUSC, says, “If we could undo what goes wrong in a person's brain who has such a gene by delivering a targeted treatment to that particular gene mechanism, then we would potentially be able to halt the progression or reverse the Parkinson's issue directly.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eAFhd9AF #ChangingWhatsPossible #ParkinsonsDisease #HealthEquity
